I bet the NIT will be next.

ridiculous

If a college basketball tournament is cancelled before it even begins and no one cares, was it ever important ?

 

[RF2044]

Our season could literally be over tomorrow.

ridiculous

Really? You know how bad this could get? Other countries are sealing off towns. I have no idea what the right answer is but I'm sure not going to question other people making those decisions. This after all, may be life and death.

 

[Orangemen]

Our season could literally be over tomorrow.

I respect your optimism.

 

[DilemaCuse]

Tomorrow? It could be over tonight by 10 pm when JB has to call a timeout when UNC is shredding the zone like they did in the dome

 

[STEVEHOLT]

I think this is just an excuse to cancel crap nobody cares about ... going from the “full game on with fans“ to canceled , without “Games without fans” is sort of suspect

NCAA games in Ohio will now be fanless.

It always feels like the CBI is teetering on the edge of extinction due to funds. Think this might be the final nail in their coffin?

Maybe so, but at least Pitt will always have that 2012 CBI title to cherish.

If only there were photographic evidence of that title.

another corona casualty

Albany Patroons Basketball - 2019 TBL Champions

HEALTH RISKS DUE TO CORONAVIURS CUT TBL SEASON SHORT




All Patroons season ticket holders will be contacted by team officials within the next week.

Indianapolis IN, Evelyn Magley, CEO of The Basketball League announced a bold solution to the current Coronavirus Situation in the world and sporting events. Effective today there will be no more regular season games played in current venues. The facts of the health risks to fans/players coupled with the reaction of the universities (where some teams play) and NCAA leagues cancelling their conference tournaments, this is the most responsible move TBL can make.

The 3rd year league will host a 4 day all league tournament, without fans, March 19 - 22 in Owensboro KY at the Owensboro Sports Center. The format will be: * Teams seeded 5-12 play on Thursday * Winners of Thursday play teams 1-4 on Friday
* Consolation games Saturday followed by the winners from Friday which are the Final 4

* TBL Championship Game is Sunday the 22nd

* Times of games and match ups will be announced on all TBL social media platforms Thursday the 12th.

Games will be live-streamed via @SportsCastrLive “We are #adifferentleague and as such always want to keep our players and fans health as top priority. At the same time, we owe it to our teams to give them more opportunities to be seen as well as a true championship that they all play for”. Evelyn Magley CEO

In addition TBL has planned a summer league to be played in Las Vegas this summer during the time of the NBA Summer league, when the worlds’ scouts converge in one market looking for players. As a league our core tenet is to help players get seen and this event will be free of charge to current and former TBL players. With the success of TBL players around the world, this helps pre-qualify our guys and draw the best scouts and interest.

Lastly TBL Tours is a new division that will take current and former TBL players around the world, free of charge, to other countries to showcase their talents and help secure more opportunities while doing camps/clinics for youth in those communities.

We would like to thank our faithful fans for their great support and our great Team Market Owners for doing what is right for their players and communities.

Looking forward to an even bigger year 4... For info: * David@thebasketballleague

How did they get the rest of the world to go along with this? They are sealing off towns around the world.

I’m referring to what’s going on here .. specifically college basketball and the “big two “ tourneys that were canceled .. those being the powerful money generating IVY league and now the CBI

The HS state championships will be next.

I can't believe it's been 8 years.
